    Ok, PC world has like 15 year old pc's, or 10 billion for an ok one, buying off avert you dont know how old/ how long it will last.

    So im considering building one, "for a relative", shes looking for cheap and charful lol.

    So show me how cheap you can get the parts to try and build one.
    minecrft is played with mods, so i would say, higher then recommend on the graphics.

    I got to about 499 pounds on amazon for a reasonable build, didnt have the time to make sure all would fit perfectly lol.

    I was going to try some of the sites listewd in the forum, but the ones i clicked on were down/gone.

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    i3 6100 €120
    16gb DDR4 €80
    B150 board €60
    Case €40
    400w PSU €50
    240gb SSD €75
    1tb HDD €50
    €125 left for a GPU, not sure how AMDs new offering are going to preform at that price range so wait a few weeks for benches.

    Should max out budget in Amazon or mindfactory.de

    Drop to 8Gb RAM (single stick) & you have another €40 for the GPU (more important IMHO)

    OP, will your relative be using "cheap & cheerful" Photoshop: Photoshop Elements or is it the fully fledged version?
